TOALL WHOM IT 'MAY CONCERN: i Be it known that I, EDWARD DITHRIDGE, of Pittsburg, inthe county ofl Allegheny, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful iriprovemen tsin the Process for Manufacturing Silvered Glass" ware; and do'herebydeclare that the following isa f'ull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being 'had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of `reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, in whicl1- v Y Figure 1 is an elevation, with the globe and holder or stand placed in proper relation to each other, and

FigureZis a lsimilarvierr-oftheholder. v i

The nature of my invention consists in an improved method of manufacturing glassware to 'he silvered, whereby the c cinent is prevented from coming in contact `with the silver,'suhstantially as hereinafter set forth. I A represents the stand, \\'hich;s'hould'be made longer vthan required. It is then relicated and Idoubled in,

so as to form a recess or receptacle for the cernent., as fully seen in' the drawings, A hole is left in the bottom of the stand for the introduction of the silver. In Ilarger articles this receptacle is formed somewhatdiierently,

V A piece of molten glass is gathered on the end of the blowing pipe, and placed on the end ofthe article in which it is desired ,to produce the doubleA part; it is then suckedin, and the cavity fashioned with the ordinary `glassblowers tools. B represents aglobe, providedwith a tubular projection, e, through which the silver is inserted.`

In joining the globe and stand together, place the projection e in the recess in `stand A, and fill the cavity with cement. Thus it will be observed that the diculty. hitherto experienced in connecting two or more parts of silvered glassware is entirely obviated by `avery simple process, as it is'impossible for the cement to come in Contact with the silver, and thus mar the finish of the article. v

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desireA to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Providing a recess for the receptionof tenons, so as to form any article of silvered glassware composed of any number of pieces, without bringing the cement used in contact with the silver on the glass, substantially as set forth and described. I

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature' in presence of two witnesses EDWD. DITHRIDGE. Witnesses: I
